Charlie Shadbolt will continue to be involved with the Headspace team until the celebration of their year on November 9th. (Note your diary to be a part of that amazing event at Lifezone at 1:00.) And she will continue to be available in an advisory role for a while after that.

We thank God for Charlie and for all she has brought to the leadership of Headspace and mission awareness among youth over the past eight and a half years.
